Do you believe that social media is impacting the mental health of our youth?

This erosion has contributed to the mental health crisis of our young people. 

This session will provide an overview of the challenges as well as tangible interventions to address how to support youth and their families. Participants will walk away with tools to engage and support young people and their families in using social media in healthy ways as well as learn ways to create social capital and community. Please join us for an engaging, interactive, and solution focused opportunity to improve the mental health of youth and families. 

 

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify how social media impacts youth mental health
  • Explain how the latest research can educate professionals and families to address social media usage and plan development
  • Practice activities that professionals can use to educate young people and their families
